Sony can majorly hit MS with a perfect game. If the MP portion is as good as Halos (dunno what is so good about it, only read that it is said to be good) and the SP portion rocks (HL2 quality) then Sony will take huge amounts of potential gamers off of the 360 bandwagon. Thing is, Sonys "style" in releasing games is VERY widespread. They have all genres covered, but in FPS they are a bit less good, and this is were the 360 shines. And now again, if KZ2 is as good as Halo 3, then MS has a big problem (too less diversity in games, that is, if Sony comes up with as many good games in all genres as with the PS2). And... Whatever Mr. Bowling said... He said it wont be at GDC, but why not show it at the european launch or even some time before that? That would be not too bad, imho. I dont know, when GDC is, but it would even be possible, that they show it before GDC (if the "comment" wasnt misinterpreted and whatnot by whomever who released this speech) Yes Matt, it wont be a Halo killer, that train has already left, but…

It just isn't possible with the hardware available. So if you are thinking it will you are going to be disappointed. That being said, this could still be a great game. The story of the game has some great possibilites. I am really hoping this game is great. It will never be a Halo killer. Halo has a huge (1/3 of all xbox owners bought 2 and almost as many bought 1). It doesn't have to "kill" Halo. It needs to be a fun game that has a great online element that gives the game legs long after its release. Sony needs to get this game out before X-mas this year. 360 will have Halo 3 and as of now Sony has nothing to compete. It would be nice if KillZone 2, MGS4, GTA 4 where available this year to give gamers of different types great games and reasons to buy a PS3. The 360 will have a ton of great games available and Sony will have a handful. I play FPS games the most and I can see no reason to purchase a PS3 for what games are coming out. Right now I want 1-2 games on the PS3 that are coming out this year. Everything else I can play on my 360. We need some info about the game. The sooner the beter. A price drop wouldn't hurt either.

However most rumors this gen are designed to undermind PS3 so I wouldn't be surprised if this one is BS only to disappoint people when it doesn't come out.

That is at least 4xFSAA, realtime smoke, complete animation system and a pretty big scenery all in one. If they find good ways to approximate these effects, the gaming world will be blown away. Guerrilla has a major budget for this game and they have already shown, that they can do impressive (looking) games with KZ1 although it was rushed.

Not all that spectacular, but they were good none the less. I'll give it that :) I really want Killzone 2 to be that game that people talk about for a few years...ya know, the kinda game that people use as a reference or comparison when new FPS's come out.

I think they may be capable of getting very close to the target renders. I hope killzone doesnt get pulled under with all the sony hate in the media. Halo isnt the holy grail of first person shooters. But people will bash killzone regardless of how good it turns out to be. If it isnt exactly like the the e3 trailer, people will say they lied. If it doesnt play even better than halo 3, people will say it sucks. Its hard for them to win on both fronts. However, did anyone notice that Halo 3 images arent exactly the droolfest many expected?
